Do small tvs last longer?

...and how many 9" Admiral tube type black and white sets are still running with the original vertical output/horizontal output tubes and CRT? Those things ran hot, and I've not seen a working one since the 80s.

Now solid state stuff, yeah - always more reliable than their larger cousins, with the exception of some of the Quasar IIs - the 19" sets always seemed to find their way in to the shop with far more frequency than their 23/25" brethren.

RCA's CTC110 in the 13" - only a lightning strike seemed to kill those! You might have to tweak the greyscale occasionally, but they ran reliable!

I'd venture to say that we saw way more portables in for repair, but they were more common in our area, and could be brought in easily. Most were lightning strike or run-of-the-mill repairs...
